LATEST FINDS

It feels like ages since I posted about finds.
Maybe because it's not car boot sale season and the
charity shops have started to really price their stuff.
Anyway, here's some of my latest finds.

1950's/1960's black sequin top, £2.50.I almost missed this top, I was occupied talking to a friend that manages that particular charity shop and as I always do I had a second look before I left and there it was!

1950's/1960's pale mint sequin top, £7.50.This is what I call a splurge. I would never ever pay this much for a garment in a charity shop, ever, but this was in absolutely mint and unused condition. Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep it or not.

Vintage embroidered angora cardigan, £3.75.A bit more than I would have liked to pay normally (you know I'm cheap!) but a cardigan like this I just can't leave behind.

Super cute gloves, £2.My heart skipped a beat for these gloves, red and with a bow. *love*

1950's shelf, £2.I've got one in a smaller size and I can't wait to put them up on the wall!This shelf wasn't supposed to be for sale, the manager of the charity shop was quite nasty about it when I asked, funny how I went there a few weeks later and there it was in a plastic box. This was meant to be.

1940's/1950's picnic bottle carrier, £1.50.I guess this could also be used as a vase holder. :)

WHO IS MISS RASCAL?

I'm a Jewish dame from Sweden who got swept off my feet by a brown eyed handsome man (musician, of course) and ended up here in the UK almost 8 years ago. I'm obsessed with the 1940's
and 1950's, my home is filled to the brim with goodies from that era.
I design and create vintage style jewelry and accessories.
In my free time I'm a magpie, I really love scouting for vintage bargains. I do try to reduce my carbon foot print and spend as little as possible, therefore I rather buy vintage and second hand. This blog is my personal space where I write about my frugal lifestyle, finds and creations. Hopefully you will be inspired to do something creative too.
